A J.P.Moueix property of considerable reputation that's always popular with Majestic customers. An open and overtly spicy nose, this is attractive and already shows signs of complexity. Admirably clean, but very tight and unyielding at this time. Won't drink as early as some of its peers - from 2014-2020. 15.8 points (out of 20)

"Mid crimson. Lightly scented. Fruit still quite raw. Very edgy with some green notes. Pretty astringent at this point. Difficult to see how this is going to become a swan. 15.5 points (out of 20)."

"Very pretty berry, dark chocolate and plum on the nose. Medium-to-full body, ripe tannins, good fruit and a medium finish. Nicely crafted young 2007. 88-91 points."
